How Journals Are Cataloged in This Directory

This directory serves as an independent index tracking scholarly publications across major science, medical, engineering, and social science disciplines. Each entry aggregates data from multiple international bibliometric repositories to provide authors with an objective view of venue performance prior to article submission.

1. Clarivate JCR vs. Scopus Coverage

Journals in this database are cross-referenced across two primary citation networks:

Web of Science Core Collection: Includes Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI), and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). Impact factors are calculated based on a strict 2-year citation window. For calculation formulas, see our Journal Impact Factor Guide.
Scopus (Elsevier): Evaluates citation performance across a wider index of over 25,000 active titles using a 4-year citation window (CiteScore). Read our side-by-side analysis in Impact Factor vs. CiteScore.

2. Understanding Subject Categories and Quartiles

Because citation rates differ significantly between disciplines (e.g., Clinical Medicine vs. Pure Mathematics), raw citation metrics must be evaluated through category-specific percentiles. Within this directory, journals are classified into four quartile tiers (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) based on their ranking within designated JCR and Scopus subfields.

3. Preventing Submission to Predatory Clones

When selecting a publication venue from this directory, always cross-reference the p-ISSN and e-ISSN with official publisher sites. Clone and hijacked journals frequently mimic reputable publications while providing fraudulent metrics. Before submitting your manuscript, follow our complete verification checklist in How to Check Journal Indexing.
